Best praise vs top criticism for New Balance FuelCell Propel v4
“I think the Fuelcell Propel punches well above its weight class. MSRP 110, can usually get them for a good bit under that. Last I looked about $80 for the v4, the current iteration. They added a flexible plate to it. That really kept everything I liked about the ride and just made them feel peppier. The uppers leave a little to be desired. They work well enough for me but I could see why some reviews ding them.”
“I had a 2E in the NB 1080 v14’s, and my Glycerin Max’s are definitely wider.”
